The body of McVIcar, a man weigh Ing 180 pounds, waa found packed'lnto a trunk at the Southern PadAc depot baggage room on the evening of March 26, .dhls' year. A quick Investigation threw suspicion upon Mrs. Ledoux, who had been traveling as McVIcar’s wife, and within seventy-two hours she was under arrest at Antlbch, not many miles from the scene of the crime. Evidence was brought showing that •he had married McVIcar while her Arst husband, Ledoux, waa living.

July t has been selected as the day for sentence and Mrs. Ledoux’s attor neys have given notice of appeal. AUTHOR OF “23” IS FINED $23 AND TOLD TO “SKIDOO” By Private- Leased Wire.
